Courtyard scene update

Chinese Courtyard Scene

I was stagnating on my previous big environment, so I'm working on this small scene for a while, and when it's done I'll return to the previous project - I haven't abandoned it ;) When I return back I'll have a bunch of new assets and textures from this scene that will give me a boost.

Anyway, really enjoying this one!! I love the lighting and evocative mood of the concept, by Wang Rui (click)

Updated treasure chest asset I made about 6 months ago. Tweaked proportions and fixed texture problems.

Tree

Finished this 'hero' tree for my scene! I intend to use the same components (ready-made branch sections, etc.) to produce a couple of regular trees to populate the distant areas of the scene

Environment project

As my main project at Futurepoly I've started an environment piece based on this awesome concept by Andrée Wallin
Progress so far:

And a paintover to help define the direction I want to go in:

Next up, a few terrain tweaks, lighting and props!
